Sheffield is recognised as having significant investment potential by leading property consultants Savills and Knight Frank. Home to two prestigious universities which are growing fast and around 65,000 students, it is not hard to see why. This population has flourished in recent years, as has the number of international students which has grown 30% in just five years to 11,000. These factors alone demonstrate how strong the proposition is for student property investment in Sheffield, especially when you consider that 45,000 students don’t have access to any purpose- built accommodation and there are no luxury options in the city at all. Sheffield is undoubtedly one of the country’s most notable university cities with it becoming a magnet for students and a centre for education. The University of Sheffield is a member of the elite Russell Group. The University is rated 78th in world, 13th in the UK and top in Yorkshire and the Humber in the 2020 QS World University Rankings.
The Sunday Times Good University Guide named Sheffield Hallam University, University of the Year for Teaching Quality in its 2020 edition. Its student satisfaction score – as measured by the independent National Student Survey – is at 86% after rising four years running and it is ranked fourth in the country for satisfaction with opportunities to apply learning.The University also holds a silver award from the government’s Teaching Excellence Framework, meaning it consistently exceeds national quality requirements.With two excellent universities, this has resulted in the city experiencing a considerable growth in student numbers, especially from overseas, and today there are more than seven applications per available place. International student numbers have also increased by 30% in the last five years.
